Just Another Girl

She's just another girl who cries real tears, Another girl with absolute fears. One who longs for comfort and peace, A girl ignored that has constant needs. She's just another girl so very ordinary, Who looks and thinks just like you and me, She goes through life looking for love, Not knowing that there's One that willl always be enough. The girl goes wandering from man to man, Feeling regret over and over again. Her body longs for that one time high, That one small joint to make her fly. And as she takes that one time puff, The police show up and slap her in cuffs. They haul her to the county jail, The only place that she calls her personal hell. She's alone again in a cold, dark place, Wiping away the salty tears from her face. Opening her eyes looking around the room, She sees nothing in the weary gloom. Trembling on the floor and scared of the dark, A light burst forth similar to gas and spark. In the middle of the room stands a man in white, From all around him comes a blinding light. He speaks with gentleness and a voice so clear, His words are kind and ever sincere. "Don't fear, my sweet child" He says with the most beautiful smile. Fatigued from crying, she is out of breath, She begins to think she is faced with death. He grows more stunning as he continues to speak, His words are generous and so unique. "I've come to advise, help, and save you, This is all I ask you to do. Listen to the words I have to say, And when I'm done, ask me to stay." "I've seen you search for a certain love, One not true and always spoke of. Open your heart and let me in, Rid your soul of every sin." "I love you so much that I died on a cross, So that your life wouldn't be a loss. Look at my hands, look through the holes, I did that just for your soul." "If you put your trust, your faith in me, A marvelous life I can guarantee. Free from hurt, free from pain, You can toss aside the spiritual chains." The girl weeps and falls to her knees, Her soul calm and at ease. He puts his hand on her head, As these are the last words he says. "Don't ever lose faith or burden your heart, I'll always be with you, we're never apart. Remember who I am and that I love you," And with those few words, He was through. Once He leaves, the girl gets to her feet, With a feeling inside her so new and sweet. The darkness was brighter, all fear was gone, A peace she wants, her soul is won.
